Dear CMS,
could /data/users/daniel.grosvenor/to\_disk/UKESM/ancils/GC5/n96e/orca1/sst/reynolds/1981\_2019\_360day/v1/qrclim+4K.sst be transferred from the Met Office EXAB (new HPC) to Archer2. Probably should end up in my space rather than yours.
And another question – how do I change the ancillary files in a 13.8 configuration? Ideally, you point me at documentation!
ta
Simon

Hi Simon,
I’d suggest you please email Daniel Grosvenor to ask for the ancil file; this should be the quickest route. I’m currently not able to copy ancil files off of the internal machine.
Re modifying the suite; I usually use `grep` to fine the ancil file in the suite files and then edit as appropriate.
Cheers,
Ros.

grep is always your friend!
